Orientation Studies

The effects of light pollution from industries, beach chalets and homes along nesting beaches as well as fishing lights on hatchlings and adult sea turtles were also conducted. These studies explore the extent of disorientation caused by light pollution and their effects on survival. Results have shown that sea turtles are strongly disorientated by lights from the beaches and out at sea.
